This type of theft is increasing. I want to encourage every racer on the forum to at least check on insuring your racing operation. It is very inexpensive and there are several companies that offer these policies. You can ask other racing friends who insures their operations, do an internet search, or send me a pm and I will give the information I have. Just for the record I am retired from the insurance industry and have nothing to gain from anyone buying a policy. Mike McMahan

It is very sad indeed. I insured all my stuff a month ago. First time to insure but it seems the odds are creeping up.
